RUTGERS: Students and faculty at Rutgers are returning to work Monday after the union, and state agreed to a new contract.

Phil Murphy stated “After five days of intensive dialogue and negotiations in my office, I am pleased to share that Rutgers University and union bargaining committees have come to an agreement. This fair and amicable conclusion respects the interests of many different stakeholders, upholds New Jersey’s values, and puts an end to a standoff that was disruptive to our educators and students alike. I thank our mediators and representatives from all sides for their hard work and I look forward to the tens of thousands of students across the New Brunswick, Newark, and Camden campuses resuming their world-class educations on Monday.”
